I don't know what this week is but not a fan of it. Love all the politics stuff but other life things are being a pain. Halloween was fun though I think I didn't do my face makeup dark enough to make a difference. Next year I'll do more and I was feeling a little ill, but had fun doing a picture with other people who were dressed up on staff. I wore my new dress from svaha with kraken on it and felt nice in it. By the time I was home, I was too tired to do trick or treating but someone else in my building did which was nice for the neighborhood.

Then it all got bad when I tried to sleep as I'd lie down and start coughing. I barely slept, so the next day got mucinex which did help. I managed some rest on Sunday, didn't work on Monday as I'm working Saturday. It helped that the past two days I'm working late so I could have later mornings, but next few days I'll have to get up earlier.

But just to add to this weird mix of days, I was driving home tonight and someone rear ended me. There's this annoying stop sign from a one way street onto a crossing. I turn right but there was a tow truck coming out so I was being cautious. Also it was late and raining, it seemed like I could go but saw cars coming down the street then felt a crunch. It took me a moment to realize that I'd been rear ended. I got out and it was an SUV driven by a young woman, so I changed my energy. I've been honked at this corner a lot of times for not turning fast enough. Instead, she was worried, we exchanged info and I drove home, spent an hour entering all my stuff into the online claim form and now trying to plan what's next. My car is driveable, the trunk and part of the bumper is crunched up and don't know when I'm going to figure out the repair. My insurance seems to be working quickly, but I'm tired and still congested.

Good news, my Yuletide is writing something that I haven't done before but a variation on something I've been thinking of.
